The June 2025 update introduced the Merge Tactics game mode to Clash Royale. While the mode itself is a different way of viewing the strategy element, there’s a lot of depth inside the mode, and one of them is that each Merge Tactics Troop in Clash Royale has its own Traits.
So understanding about them becomes important as we should know how these things work, what type of troops fall under the category and all the necessary details about the boosts they provide, which are listed in this article.
Clash Royale: Merge Tactics Troop Traits Explained
In Clash Royale Merge Tactics, Traits are special powers that make your team stronger when you use enough troops with the same Trait. These powers only work for the troops placed on the field, not the ones on the bench.
Every troop has two Traits: one Origin Trait and one Role Trait. When you place enough troops with the same Trait, it activates a bonus that can help you win fights more easily.
The table below categorizes the troops and their functions accordingly.
